Hi,

Currently i am storing some HTML Content to Database column (sql server 2008), Along with some other details. And i need to Generate a Report using that data. But when showing that HTML in Crystal report Text field which has Text Interpretation set to HTML , Some html tags are not forming well. Like image () and Table ().

According to Crystal Report XI Help documentation - I am pretty sure it has not changed - the supported tags are;

html
body
div (causes a paragraph break)
tr (causes only a paragraph break; does not preserve column structure of a table)
span
font
p (causes a paragraph break)
br (causes a paragraph break)
h1 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold & twice default size)
h2 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold & 1.5 times default size)
h3 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold & 9/8 default size)
h4 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold)
h5 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold & 5/6 default size)
h6 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold & 5/8 default size)
center
big (increases font size by 2 points)
small (decreases font size by 2 points if it's 8 points or larger)
b
i
s
strike
u
The supported attributes are:

align
face
size
color
style
font-family
font-size
font-style
font-weight

You will note that neither table or img tags are listed

Kind Regards
